The legend has that Goddess Sri Satyabhama revealed her desire to have Parijatha flowers to Lord Krishna.  Lord went in search of Parijatha flowers to please his consort Goddess Sri Satyabhama.  He continued search for the flowers for long and his task turned out unfruitful.  He meditated upon Lord Shiva and with the help of Lord Shiva located a land full of Parijatha flowers in abundance.  Consequently, Lord Krishna with his consorts Goddess Satyabhama and Sri Rugmani arrived on this sacred land and resided here at their own will.    This is one of the holiest places equivalent to Dwaraka.
